Og ikke som i klaging, men som ugla sier. Har strikket en liten babygenser i uglemønsteret, Owlet. Jada, ser at jeg gjorde noe feil i uglemønsteret, siden jeg glemte vrangmaskene i mellom, men genseren ble nå fin allikevel. Jeg fulgte målene til str.5 år, men i dobbel Babyalpaca silk fra Drops, så den endte vel opp som rundt 6-9 mnd, tenker jeg. Litt stor til babydukka, men hun fungerer som modell i alle fall. Garnet er veldig mykt og godt, så skal strikke en uglegenser til i samme garn. Fikk litt garn til overs.Not as complaining, but like an owl talking. I have knitted a small babysweater in the owl pattern Owlet. Yes, I can see that I made an error in the owl pattern, since I forgot the purl stitches, but the sweater turned out good anyway. I followed the pattern for 5 years, but in two threads of Babyalpaca silk from Drops, so I ended up with a sweater around 6-9 months. It's a bit too big for the doll, but she's good enough for modelling the sweater. The yarn is real soft and nice, so I'm going to knit another owl sweater.

Når man ankommer Norge for første gang fra tropisk klima, er det greit å ha noe varmt i ull for ikke å fryse ihjel. Strikket et sett fra Drops i Nepal. Jeg ble veldig fornøyd med det, og fikk veldig lyst til å beholde det selv, men ga det bort. Tror jeg må kjøpe mer Nepal og strikke et slikt sett til meg selv også. Oppskriften var enkel og veldig kjapp å strikke. Gaven ble godt mottatt er tatt i bruk allerede. Tror jeg skal være egoistisk å strikke et sånt sett til meg i løpet av vinteren.When you arrive Norway for the first time and are used to a tropical climate, it's a real good thing to have something warm made of wool not to freeze to death. This is knitted in Nepal and with a pattern from Drops. I am so pleased with it, and I really wanted to keep it myself, but I gave it away as planned. I think I have to buy more Nepal and knit one set for myself tool. The pattern was easy and a real fast knit too. The gift was well received and she uses it already. I think I'm going to be selfish and knit myself one this winter.
